I don't know if anybody actually reads this blog and knows that it normally updates every other Monday, but there isn't going to be a review today, and there's probable never going to be one on a regular schedule ever again.

About Me

In my third year at Pace University I joined the school newspaper, where I wrote video game reviews. I enjoyed it so much, that after I graduated I started up my first blog, John Daniel's Video Game Reviews, so I would have a place to keep reviewing games. I hope I will be able to write reviews for a real publication someday.
I always hated how so many reviews of video games I read tended to be self-indulgent, not very thorough, waste a lot of time talking about the story, and tried to be funny and failed. So in these reviews I try to cover all aspects of a video game in a straightforward manner and not assume that the reader knows everything about the basics of the game.
I started my second blog, Ramblings, years later because I wanted to write down somewhere long topics that bother me but did not have anyone to express them to, which I suppose is why most people start a blog. This one is a lot less formal.
